TSL@USW: Introduction to UKPSF for Claimants

This introductory 2-hour session is for colleagues who are interested in developing a claim for Associate Fellowship/Fellowship or Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy.

This session will introduce you to and explore both the UKPSF and the TSL@USWCPD scheme; its pathways and elements. Fellowships are awarded on the basis of a successful and effective demonstration of one of the four UKPSF Descriptors. This session will enable you to decide which category of Fellowship to apply for at this stage in your career. We will discuss three of the four Descriptors of the UKPSF enabling you to select the most appropriate to your practice and professional experience.
